More About

On the occasion of NRA member and President Ronald Reagan's 78th birthday in 1989, he addressed the issue of gun control with this statement: "I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting, for hunting … or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of a home." A refresher: Eight years earlier Reagan was shot during an assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr., along with his press secretary, Jim Brady, who, as a result, was permanently disabled. As a result Reagan backed an assault weapons ban in 1981 as well as the Brady Bill, which established a waiting period for handgun purchases to provide time for background checks. Reagan always believed that there was no need for citizens to carry loaded weapons, yet today NRA supporters might have forgotten his sentiments. One wonders if Reagan still walked the earth today, might he advocate—in light of Columbine, Aurora, and Sandy Hook— for even tighter gun control legislation? Perhaps the guests at Reagan's 102nd Birthday Celebration can answer. Brigadier General Vincent Coglianese conducts the ceremony, and Rudy Guiliani provides keynote remarks. Activities include music by the First Marine Division Band as well as a color guard, a 21-gun salute and placement of a wreath on Reagan's gravesite.

Watch out America!  Here comes Obama/Biden threat!  As a former cop with 32 years experience (now retired with honors) I would like to inform the U.S. Citizens of Government's plan to CONTROL You.  Armed yourselves for Home Defense! Please!

Why? Because we can't be everywhere' and often cannot get to your home/location before that Criminal/Thief gets to you first. Saw this MANY times. Protect yourself...,as we are coming. Hold On!

Obama/Biden push for "Universal Background Checks" and then folks the Government will change, or put in whatever they want on that Form and, or inside those Checks. For instance if you have ever had an Anxiety attack, Migraine, etc., anything connected to the slightest of any mental health issues. You are suddenly the criminal if you don't comply with them. Please don't trust this President. He is a sinner and will pay for his atrocities to our way of life., as it says in the Bible. Blessed are the Peacemakers. 

If you Outlaw Guns then only Outlaws will have them.
